How To Use

To Inflate

Remember: Plane Pal cannot be used during take-off and landing as the aisles and exits must remain clear. Always follow any instruction given by the crew. Plane Pal is to be used where it will not obstruct other passengers. Please ensure you reserve your seating prior to travel.

Step 1:

Once the captain has turned off the seat belt sign after take-off, unpack your Plane Pal and pump (pump is optional and available separately). With the large valves fully open, stretch out and fully expand your Plane Pal. Plane Pal will inflate much faster if fully expanded.
Ensure that the Plane Pal’s smaller (clear) valves are open. The larger (black) valves should be closed for inflation. They ensure the air cannot escape while you are inflating Plane Pal.

Step 2:

Before inflating, place Plane Pal on the floor in-between your child’s seat and the seat in- front.
Plane Pal can be used in three different ways depending on the amount of space in front of the seat. On a budget airline (with limited space) use Plane Pal upside-down. On an airline with more available space, use Plane Pal right-way-up. In a bulkhead or bassinet row, use Plane Pal right-way-up and turn lengthways.
Ensure the valves are placed on the aisle side so you can access them to inflate. Plane Pal must be inflated to fill the space. DO NOT inflate it and attempt to squash it into the area.

Step 3:

To begin inflating, connect the hose to the two-way pump, and connect the larger of the two adaptors to the other end of the hose. Ignore the pointy adaptor (it’s good for inflating toys for the pool, but not Plane Pal!).
Now plug the adaptor firmly into the black valve on the bottom section of Plane Pal. Using two hands fully extend and depress the pump. Plane Pal will start to inflate. Continue inflating until Plane Pal is firm, but has some give to provide comfort.
Repeat with the top section of Plane Pal. Once each section is inflated secure the clear valve plug.
You are now ready for your child to recline and snooze. Please remember to keep your child’s seatbelt fastened at all times in case of turbulence. During extended long-haul flights, you may need to top up the air in your Plane Pal as changes in air pressure can cause contraction that decreases the volume of air.

To Deflate

For safety, Plane Pal is fitted with rapid deflate valves. Simply pull the larger black valves open and apply pressure to the top of Plane Pal. Once the valve is pulled, Plane Pal will deflate in a matter of seconds.
To pack Plane Pal away simply roll it up starting at the end with no valves. Once rolled secure with the Velcro strap and place inside your Plane Pal bag.

Will Plane Pal fit all plane seats?

Plane Pal is designed to fit most economy airlines and most standard, bus and train seats. Plane Pal is designed so that it has 3 sizes. It can be used upright or upside down to fit the space between your child’s seat and the seat in front. In most cases it will sit flush with your child's seat. By inflating Plane Pal in position, you can adjust the level of inflation to ensure a snug fit that is level with the seat.

PLANE PAL CAN BE USED IN BULK HEAD OR BASSINET ROWS, SIMPLY TURN IT LENGTHWAYS. FOR EXTRA LARGE AREAS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO USE 2 PLANE PALS. SEE INSTAGRAM FOR EXAMPLES.

Is Plane Pal allowed on all airlines?

The advice from most airlines is that as long as the aisle and area between your seat and the seat in front remains clear during take-off and landing you are entitled to use an inflated cushion during the remainder of the flight. The manufacturer recommend using Plane Pal in the window seat or in the centre seat of the middle row of seats so as to not block another passenger.

Singapore Airlines and a growing list of others, have expressly approved the use of inflatable travel beds for kids. The manufacturer highly recommend contacting your airline carrier prior to purchasing to ensure they will allow use. Aircrafts are private property and airlines ultimately decide what is/isn't allowed on their flights. However, of the airlines we have encountered, the good news is most are supportive of our mission 'to make travel luxurious for all families'. And we are adding new airline partners constantly! Although we do find that depending on who you speak to the answer can change back and forth during one phone call! We do not accept returns for refusal of use.

Remember that Plane Pal is designed for all forms of travel including rail, buses and cars. See the list of airlines that have confirmed they allow Plane Pal through their customer service teams.

Who can use Plane Pal?

Plane pal was designed with children between 2-8 years old in mind, as they can utilise the product to its full potential and extend their legs or lay flat. Adults tend to only be able to sit crossed legged or with their legs set to one side. For many adults just being able to raise their legs helps them to travel more comfortably.

Can an infant (child under 2 years) use a Plane Pal?

If you choose to purchase a seat for your infant or are lucky enough to have a spare seat allocated to you on your flight then Plane Pal can most certainly be used. Plane Pal is highly effective for infants and toddlers if used correctly. It is important to closely monitor your toddler to ensure they do not roll off the seat or Plane Pal. It is vital that their seat belt remains fastened at all times to avoid injury.

Do I need more than one Plane Pal for two kids?

For relaxed traveling you will need 1 Plane Pal per child! The ‘Plane Pal Pillow’ contains only 1 Plane Pal and does not come with a pump or carry bag.
